Tony Khan Gives More Insight Into Decision To Move AEW All Out To The Afternoon
With WWE announcing WWE Wrestlepalooza for September 20 and going head-to-head with AEW All Out, AEW made the decision to move All Out to the afternoon.
Speaking on the AEW All Out media call, AEW President Tony Khan gave more insight into the decision to move the pay-per-view.
“I am very excited for the opportunity to have this show this Saturday afternoon. I thought it was the best decision for our fans. We’ve had great success with the last few AEW pay-per-views with the early start time. Forbidden Door did very well, and we did some of our best numbers ever with All In, which set great business milestones for us. I think we can make it three great shows and three very successful shows in a row. I can already tell you this show is going to be a very successful business venture, and I think it’s going to be a great wrestling show and keep this run of great pay-per-views going. It was the right decision for the fans to put the time here and for us, being in the pay-per-view business, to continue this run of great shows. Making these adjustments based on the wrestling landscape and based on our metrics, we thought this would be our best chance to deliver our best numbers, while still delivering a great show to the fans. It’s worked well for us, and I think it will work well for us this Saturday afternoon,” said Tony.
AEW All Out will begin at 3 p.m. ET. Fans can check out the lineup for the show here.
